Toward Gender Equity in the Classroom : Everyday Teachers' Beliefs and Practices (Suny series, Teacher Preparation and Development)

Rather than simply examining gender differences in student performance, this book presents various aspects and considerations of gender equity in classroom teaching through conversations with and observations of eight teachers. It highlights the differences between teacher beliefs and practices, shows how educational institutions contribute to the formation or development of those beliefs and practices, and describes how individual teachers within those institutions can and do combat the inequities resulting from gender socialization.（State University of New York Press）
